A network of video game cheats was recently dismantled in China. By offering gamers subscriptions allowing them to obtain numerous advantages, this network is believed to have amassed more than US$750mil (RM3.09bil).

Malaysian companies need to accelerate digital transformation to keep up with cutting-edge developments. However, what isn't well known is exactly where Malaysian organisations stand vis-a-vis other South-East Asian and global companies. It also isn't clear what are the factors dragging down Malaysian enterprises' digital progress.
